PREAMBLE
ASCCP members and the general public place great trust in the work of the Society. Real or perceived undisclosed relevant financial relationships may jeopardize that trust and ASCCP’s effectiveness. Relevant financial relationships also may affect the objectivity of decisions that ASCCP officers and volunteers make. To minimize the potential impact of possible relevant financial relationships, the Board of Directors has determined that all participants in ASCCP activities must report all real or potential relationships prior to the activity being developed and delivered to the learners.
Additionally, the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education require that we disqualify individuals who refuse to provide this information from involvement in the planning and implementation of accredited continuing education.
Please disclose all financial relationships that you have had in the past 24 months with ineligible companies (see definition below). For each financial relationship, enter the name of the ineligible company and the nature of the financial relationship(s). There is no minimum financial threshold; we ask that you disclose all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, with ineligible companies. You should disclose all financial relationships regardless of the potential relevance of each relationship to the education.
An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. For specific examples of ineligible companies visit accme.org/standards.
